Ko e Sāpaté ko e ʻaho ia ʻa e ʻEikí, kuo vaheʻi he uike takitaha ki he mālōlō mo e moihū. ʻI he kuonga ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá, naʻe tauhi ai ʻe he kakai fuakava ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e Sāpaté ʻi hono fitu ʻo e ʻaho ʻo e uiké koeʻuhí he naʻe mālōlō ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho hono fitú ʻi Heʻene fakatupu ʻa e māmaní. (vakai, Sēnesi 2:2). Hili ʻa e Toetuʻu ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo e uiké (vakai, Maʻake 16:2), naʻe kamata leva ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa e ʻEikí hono tauhi ʻo e Sāpaté ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo e uiké, ʻa ia ko e Sāpaté (vakai, Ngāue 20:7).
